Default How to tell if a con. rod is bent

Any way to tell if there is a bent rod by just listening/driving?

Thanks,

If you bent a rod, chances are your bearings are screwed and you will hear a knocking sound. Also when you bend a rod usually it takes out the block and the piston and seizes the entire motor. A spun bearing is far more likely unless you hydro locked the motor or blew something with a power adder.
